Gimbals & Optical Mounts

Aerotech gimbals and optical mounts provide ultra-precise angular position, rate, and acceleration for development and production testing of a wide range of systems. They are ideal for directing optics, lasers, antennas, and sensors at high speed to very precise pointing angles. Typical gimbal and optical mount applications include missile seeker test and calibration, LIDAR, electro-optic sensor and FLIR testing, airborne target tracking, optical testing of space-based sensors in a vacuum, and angular testing of inertial sensors such as gyros, MEMS, accelerometers, and inertial reference units.

AOM130 series optical mounts have been designed to position large, heavy optics up to 609.6 mm in diameter. These mounts are used in major fusion and high-powered laser research and development… More >
